  • RAID redundant array of independent disks
  • a certain reserved space is configured for SSD disk to lengthen the lifecycle of a SSD disk.
  • the ratio between the reserved space and the whole space of SSD disk is fixed.
  • a ratio between the reserved space and the whole space is configured for each SSD disk, and the reserved space is the storage space that cannot be accessed in the SSD disk.
  • the storage space can be divided into available space and reserved space for each disk SSD, and the reserved space for each SSD device is the same, for example, 50%.
  • the accessing operation transmitted to SSD device 102 may be a random writing operation, which might cause the temperature and working current of SSD device 102 to increase significantly. If the writing operations are too frequent, the wearing speed of SSD device 102 would be faster than the other three SSD devices, i.e., SSD device 101 , 103 and 104 . Even more serious is that due to rapid increase of the temperature and working current of the SSD device 102 , failure block(s) of SSD device 102 increases significantly.
  • a fixed ratio of reserved space in each SSD device in the prior art is configured without taking into consideration of impact of the temperature and the working current on the individual SSD lifecycle.

  • the wearing extent of the SSD device 102 exceeds the security threshold, the SSD device 102 will have a failure or become inaccessible, thereby incurring failure of the whole SSD cache 100 .
  • the excessively rapid wearing speed of SSD device 102 renders the whole SSD cache 100 unavailable while the wearing ratio of the other three devices remains small. Therefore, the traditional fixed ratio of reserved space severely affects the overall performance of the storage system.

  • the magnitude of each cache page may be adjusted according to actual needs.
  • the performance parameter of each of the plurality of SSD devices can be obtained periodically.
  • the temperature and working current of each SSD device are obtained every day or every three hours.

  • the higher SSD disk temperature is, or the bigger the working current is, the more likely that the disk is damaged.
  • the weight can be configured so that it increases as the performance parameter increases.
  • the weight can be configured so that it decreases as the performance parameter decreases. That is, the bigger the value of the performance parameter is, the greater the weight for the SSD device is.
  • each SSD device has the same temperature, working current and wearing ratio so that the weight value of each SSD device can be equal, for example, set to 1.
  • the reserved space for each SSD device is configured based on the weight for each SSD device.
  • the storage space for each SSD device can be divided into available space and reserved space, and the available space is the storage space that can be accessed in the SSD device, while the reserved space is the inaccessible storage space in the SSD device.
  • the reserved space can be configured with the biggest ratio.
  • the reserved space can be configured with the smallest ratio.
  • the accessing frequency of the SSD device is in direct proportion to the available space of the SSD device.

Therefore, the reserved space of the SSD device with greater wearing ratio will increase, and its wearing speed will decrease; the reserved space of the SSD device with lower wearing, ratio will decrease, and its wearing speed will increase, so that all the SSD devices in the whole SSD cache will achieve wear leveling.
